The Fenwood Duster.
21 – 10 – 26
The first official interclub tournament of the season, for the Fenwood Duster, EP v Fendalton. EP regained it last year and there was a quiet determination  to retain it. This was the 46th time this tournament has been played.
It was a wonderfully fine day although Canterbury’s easterly made itself known during the latter part of the afternoon and made conditions quite tricky.
Three bowl triples were played.          Final score.   EP 162   Fen. 104   EP 9 wins 2 draws     Fen. 5 wins 2 draws

   Organiser Pam Phair delivering the rules of engagement.

   Pam Phair and Brian Smith with the Duster inviting Fendalton to to try again  next year.     It’s ours!

MuzzaWeb would like to give thanks to the following for their work in making this event so successful

Brian Smith and Pam Phair for organising the tournament.

Pam Phair, Pam Nicholson and MaryAnn Johnstone for the great afternoon tea.

Tim Sandrey  for the bar.

Steve Street for the green; surely the envy of many clubs in Christchurch.
